SHARE THIS STORY

Lavender aroma filled the air as beautiful purple hues surrounding guests from stunning bridesmaids to purple vases at their reception. Yet nothing beat how stunning Jenna and Sandro looked on their summer wedding day at The Park Savoy.

They said their vows under the summer sun then guests enjoyed cocktail hour both indoors and outdoors and danced the day away at a gorgeous light-filled reception.

Since Sandro and Jenna chose not to see one another before their ceremony, it was fun to have a first look with her father as her tearful bridesmaids watched nearby. Bride's reveal with her father as her bridesmaids watch nearby.

The grounds of The Park Savoy are even more attractive in summer with colorful annual and perennial flowers everywhere and trees in their full splendor. But the great thing is – even the inside is gorgeous like the bridal portrait of Jenna, below, sitting on a chaise while she waited for the ceremony to begin as Sandro put the finishing touches on his wedding day attire.Beautiful bride in a Pronovias wedding gown for her summer wedding at The Park Savoy, New Jersey.

Jenna supported this by gifting a Kate Spade necklace to her bridesmaids, also in a few different style from coral and aqua pendants to stars and bows. Summer wedding portraits of the bride and groom at The Park Savoy in New Jersey.

Jenna’s first dance with her father was memorable and emotional too. I can tell Jenna’s daddy’s little girl in the best way.Summer wedding escort cards with purple accent.

The bride and groom cut their square tiered wedding cake at their daytime summer wedding. Photo by Mikkel Paige Photography.Amongst spinning on the dance floor, enjoying a delicious meal and toasting to love they cut their four tier white buttercream, red velvet wedding cake adorned with lavender and hot pink roses. I completely love this classic photo of their moment! They even used the cutlery Jenna’s parents used to cut their wedding cake, years ago.

I can almost still smell the lavender and feel the energy of the plentiful smiles on everyone’s faces their entire wedding day. Their wedding day was all they had envisioned and planned, for an more. Jenna and Sandro – I wish you a lifetime of happiness…and then some! It was such an honor to photography your wonderful wedding day!
